Summary

The bill sets a court‑driven process for anyone whose conviction is vacated or pardoned because they were actually innocent and whose charges are dismissed. It obligates the state to pay an advance compensation award, provide limited medical coverage, and coordinate post‑release services, while shifting the burden of proof to the state. The measure also directs annual reporting and allows the state to seek reimbursement from counties for any losses incurred.
